Good luck with that as there are so many situation that can occur. Nathan, yes you should point out potential problems with a course you measure and certify. Such as: turns to close to the start or finish, traffic, poor running surface, turn arounds in a very narrow street, ect.

I recall a race in NJ that had 10,000 runners. The race started and all a sudden the police, FBI and Secret Service showed up at the finish and said the president was about to arrive. "You must clear the area". I don't recall what actually happened.

They said you must stop the race. Now as you see it is impossible to cover all situations.
